B.C.-made chocolate for Easter by Buy BC
April 16, 2025

British Columbians spend over $100 a year on a variety of chocolate treats including bars, bon bons, and seasonal goodies. In 2024, B.C. exported $260 million in chocolate to the U.S., but we also imported over $66 million worth from the U.S. Let’s keep things sweet for our chocolate makers—shop local and support B.C. businesses.

We’ve rounded up some amazing chocolate treats perfect for Easter and made right here at home. Whether you’re filling baskets or want to treat yourself, these local chocolatiers have something special for you this spring.
